6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: this the other night, so I have to admit this.

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: My girlfriend has me watching TMZ and another thing I

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: choose to do, but they had an interesting story on

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: the other night. Do you see the guy in this

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: last place fantasy guy who had to put peanut butter

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: on himself and go to a dog park? No, uh,

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: that sounds I did not say that. That sounds like

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: cruel and unusual punchment lost. This was his He was,

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, the last place guy in his league, and

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: like there's pictures of him like nude, nude, like nude, nothing, nude, nothing,

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: with peanut butter all over himself and he went to

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: a dog park. Picture like you know, there's like three

18
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: or four dogs like all around him. See Marcus, what

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: you made me do? Now? God damn? That was my

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: next question? Is it did he attract like a gaggle

21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: of dogs? Because I'm just reading the story myself as

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I as I'm talking to about that it happened in Dallas.

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: He had an option to pay two d and fifty

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: dollars to not do this, easy business choice, like he

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: did this instead of paying two hundred and fifty dollars

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: to get out of the punishment. Very just. I feel

27
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: like some of these things are going a little too far.

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: I mean, because you know, we always I know, that's

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: the thing we do every August or whatever. We ask

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: people what is their last place punishment? And we get

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: people to send us videos and they're always usually kind

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: of funny. Um, I don't know, I feel like this

33
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: is better than getting a tattoo, right, like naked, I

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: mean mothered in peanut butter in a dog parks people around, right.

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: The tattoos there forever, Yeah, the shame is there forever. Well,

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: you can just go to the A t M and

37
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: get twould be done with that would be me? There's

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: a video I'm not going there. Yeah, I just feel

39
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: like that's an easy out. So, I don't know, it

40
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: was just the thing that it caught my eye. It

41
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: made me laugh. I figured I would share it with

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: you guys. Uh. This morning behind the glass, as always

43
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: is our faithful producers. Senior Edward L. Murphy esquire Murph,

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: what's up on that topic? Myself and my friends and

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: one of my main leagues, we always go over which

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: punishment would work out the best. The problem is, though

47
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: it's never started yet, because we have so every other

48
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: person is like, well, I don't want to be the

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: first one to do it, like we thought, like the

50
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: daylong bus ride without a phone, we thought of that

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: one before, or or taking the set of the A

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: C T again with a bunch of high school that

53
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: one's great. I think that yeah, And I've heard to

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: finished bottom three in the league. If you if you

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: finished with the worst test score to take it again.

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: I'm scared to take the STT again. I would. I

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: would be petrified. You know, it would be a great

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 1: punishment and it actually wouldn't be Smothering yourself in butter

59
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: nude is like, dude, if you're the last place you

60
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: know team, we already have the whole You have to

61
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: stand outside in public with a sign dressed strangely like

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: you forced them to wear the gear of the team

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: they hate the most, and put him out there in

64
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: the street with a big sign that says I suck

65
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: at fantasy football. That's fine, Yeah, but then you have

66
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: losers like me who don't care about the teams like

67
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: Foss right whatever, Because I'm thinking, because my son is is,

68
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm coaching his baseball team, and I told you guys,

69
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: he's playing for the Red Sox, and we picked up

70
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: the jerseys last night. And I almost threw up, like

71
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: they told me, like we Well, at least it wasn't

72
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: front the Yankee so but I I told the coaches,

73
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: I SAI, picture night is tomorrow. I am not wearing

74
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: Red Sox gear. I will not wear a Red Sox hat.

75
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: And at the end of the season, assuming we don't

76
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: have to bring the jerseys back, there will be a

77
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: burning ceremony where I will put the two jerseys and

78
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: the hat in the fire and torch it like those

79
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: angry fans on Twitter, like a no, I can't leaning steel,

80
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't, I can't do it. Yeah,

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: we will get to that, by the way, the maybe

82
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: not the journey, the jersey burning, but certainly Antonio Brown,

83
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk that. We'll talk some fantasy wish list stuff

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: and h a little bit of the a F because

85
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: there are a couple of weeks in now, so kind

86
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: of some thoughts. I'm in a league. Yeah, we're gonna

87
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: get to that because that's I'm just I'm intrigued by it.

88
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: We'll say that. So all that and a whole lot

89
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: more For my number one pick was we'll find out.

90
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: Is it Trent Richardson And he's been balling. He's been

91
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: balling too. I think he's the number one running back

92
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: in that is actually in PPR right now and he's

93
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: averaging like less than three yards of carry's okay, we'll go. Yeah,

94
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: we'll get on that later. We'll get to that in

95
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: a whole lot more. Now it's it's actually Jukwan Gardner,

96
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: who's also on my team. I have no idea how

97
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: about that. I have no idea who that is. In

98
00:04:47,720 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: the meantime, let's there's some news. Yeah, let's start with

99
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Watch he met with Steelers ownership and both

100
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: sides have agreed that it is time to move on.

101
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: So last week when we sat here in this room,

102
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown had, you know, allah Michael Scott declared free agency,

103
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: even though the Steelers still you know, have a contract

104
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: for him. Now it appears at both sides and decided

105
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: that it is best that they just break up. Um,

106
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: you know which I just kind of wonder, like do

107
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: they need over coffee. It's like, hey, you know, we

108
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: had some good time together. Things aren't working out. I

109
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: feel like I need to see other people. Like I

110
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: always wonder how you know, if Antonio was like, it's

111
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: not you, it's me. I'm kind of over this whole thing.

112
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm definitely over this whole thing. Over this whole thing.

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he comes out and you know, it's like

114
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: the whole wide receiver diva tag boom, another one, Antonio Brown,

115
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: And I mean, you're in a great situation. You're making

116
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: tons of money. Let's not well, let's not let's not

117
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: absolve the Steelers complete reible. I've been pretty awful in this.

118
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand the Steelers are the like

119
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: the peak and pinnacle of pettiness in the NFL are because,

120
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a new story last week that

121
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: they're going to maybe try to hold onto Levy on

122
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: Bell and give him the transition tag and force him

123
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: to stay and then I guess trade him, like what

124
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna do with Antonio Brown, I mean with you though,

125
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm so tired. I'm tired of it. Man. I wasn't

126
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna spend a lot of time on it. But they're

127
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna move the move. But it's big because you know,

128
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: I talked about it last week and we had mentioned

129
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: what team legitimately would go after him in a trade,

130
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: and the only one that we could think of that

131
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: maybe his value wouldn't decrease is the Indianapolis Colts, who

132
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: are flushed with salary cap freedom, uh coming up this offseason.

133
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about the twenty nineteen fantasy wish list that, yeah,

134
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: I've compiled and you guys have added some as well.

135
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: And there's a team out there that I think would

136
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: be a very good fit for Antonio Brown. But it

137
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a better fit than the one that he's

138
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: been in throughout his career in Pittsburgh. But just not

139
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: going to be better, No, but it won't be as good. No.

140
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: But he's he's done there and and they're done with him.

141
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I know it's it's time to move on. It happens,

142
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, it was what seven years together, and so

143
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: first there was Levian and now it's Antonio Brown and

144
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: makes me wonder, like at some point there's there's something

145
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: in the building or someone in the building that's kind

146
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: of forcing this to happen. My wonder, does his name

147
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: rhyme with lashmis Burger Burger? Uh? I mean, just you

148
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: gotta wonder. That's the clock, right clock. It's just something

149
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: and there's something in that building there that's kind of

150
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: forcing superstars to say they don't want to be there anymore.

151
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: Who knows. Uh. Darius Guys he missed unfortunately all of

152
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: his rookie season with an injury. Uh. He has been rehabbing,

153
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: he says, quote, I'm still strong as an ox. Now.

154
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: That was the thing. I mean, before I knew much

155
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: about Darius Guys, one of the things I learned about

156
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: him was that he allegedly picked up a Volkswagen or

157
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: something that I can't do that either, so which all

158
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: to me just reminded me of the original Superman movie

159
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: when when young Clark can't live say yes and still

160
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: the best Superman movie, although Superman two was also very two,

161
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty good Superman and Superman three gave us the

162
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: classic line, hey look, Superman is drunk, which I thought

163
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: was just hilarious. Wait, wait, wait, which one was that?

164
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: That was Superman three, but the four was The Quest

165
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: for Peace, which was the worst piece of garbage ever,

166
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: was terrible with John And there actually hasn't been a

167
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: good Superman since then. Superman returns to Henry Superman. I know,

168
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: we've kind of gotten down a rabbit hole here. That's fine.

169
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: It's the offseason super Superman. They've never really made like

170
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: a good modern Superman movie, and I feel like that's

171
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: the one thing that hasn't been rebooted properly. No, it

172
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: has not not at all. Um So there and if

173
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: you're Superhero not Superman, you there is a blur ray

174
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: out there. It's the Richard Donner cut. And I think

175
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: I may have mentioned this to you a couple of

176
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: years ago. If you love Superman and you've never seen

177
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: the Superman to the Richard Donner cut, you should absolutely

178
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: go out there and get it. It's really good. It's

179
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: really really good. So anyways, there is guys. He's super

180
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: strong apparently, he says he's still strong as an ox,

181
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: and he's expecting to come back and you know, be

182
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: very good and what will essentially be his rookie season

183
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: this year. Um, the question for me is because the

184
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: corollary story is this, Doug Williams says he's not counting

185
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: out Alex Smith just yet, that he thinks there's a

186
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: chance Alex Smith could come back and play this season.

187
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: I think most observers are expecting him to miss the

188
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: entirety of the year and maybe see if he can

189
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: make a go of it in now. You know, whatever

190
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: you feel about running backs and running backs don't matter.

191
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: The question is, though, can Darius guys be effective if

192
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: there isn't a quarterback there who's at least competent under center,

193
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: because right now Washington they have a major, major hole

194
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. They do and uh, I texted

195
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: with Darius. We text pretty often, and he's feeling good.

196
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: He's getting really positive feedback um with the knee. And

197
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: I wrote in the article about my offseason fantasy wishes

198
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: that I kind of hope the Redskins go after a

199
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: guy like Teddy Bridgewater, give him a chance to come

200
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: in there and shine. They have to get a quarterback somewhere,

201
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean, case Keenum is trade bade at this point. Also,

202
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: so if Alex Smith can't come back into me personally,

203
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: he's not in my rankings. I don't expect him to

204
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: come back from that injury in twenty nineteen. I hope

205
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: he does. I hope he does, but it doesn't seem

206
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: like he would be able to do that. The Redskins

207
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,359
Speaker 1: gotta go out there if they want to be competitive

208
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: in that division and get a guy like Bridgewater too.

209
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: He's a young quarterback and he could sort of bridge

210
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: the gap between Smith and whoever else ends up being

211
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: their franchise quarterback. And who knows, maybe Bridgewater can become

212
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: that guy. Still a young guy. Yeah, I mean, and

213
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: Darius is gonna he's gonna bawl talent wise. I don't

214
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: matter what. I don't. I don't a doubt it. I

215
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: just wonder, you know, like they don't really have a quarterback.

216
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: Last year, their offensive line was just a shambles. I mean,

217
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: injuries just killed that group up front back to back.

218
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: Here y, Yeah, it's true. So other aside too. Something

219
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: about Washington, I don't know if it's the field, I

220
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a training not. Don do they

221
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: have injuries. They have horrific injuries. I mean, Robert Griffin

222
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: the third was on top of the world and in

223
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: his knee. Just felt that that field has been notorious

224
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: for being one of the worst, if not the worst

225
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: maintained field in the NFL. They get a ton of

226
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: rain there too, and there's still we get a ton

227
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: of rain here. Suddenly we're in Seattle, it seems like.

228
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: But remember the playoff game. There's a lot of question

229
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: marks about whether or not he should have even been

230
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: out there, and then he was so bad. I mean,

231
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: so there's there's just something about because I mean, guys

232
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: suffered an injury that wasn't even on their actual playing fields.

233
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: There's something about the franchise that I don't know what

234
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: it is, but man, they just I don't know, they

235
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: just wrecked some some guy in serious ways for the

236
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Um Down to Arizona, the offensive

237
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: line coach for the Arizona Cardinals, says that David Johnson's

238
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: workload will surprise people. That everybody's thinking it's this air

239
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: raid offense that they're gonna stand back and sling it

240
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of times. Speaking of slinging it, Josh

241
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,479
Speaker 1: Rosen was in a car accident, but apparently he is okay. There. Um,

242
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, they say that we will

243
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: all be surprised by David Johnson's workload and Graham. For me,

244
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: the only reason, the only way I would be surprised

245
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: is if he literally touched it on every single play.

246
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the only thing that would surprised

247
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: me about it, because right now you look up down

248
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: that roster and where else really are they gonna go

249
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: with the football consistently besides David Johnson. I mean, he's

250
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: coming off three touches uh the year before obviously he

251
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: went nuclear and had like three touches. I mean, I mean, sure, yeah,

252
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna get three under touches. Appreciate, Like, I don't

253
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: know what the shock is. I mean, unless they find

254
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: a way to get Antonio Brown what I mean, yeah,

255
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: sure of course, I mean I don't know. I would

256
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: like to see way more than seventy six targets next year,

257
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Let's bump bump into that whole mess.

258
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: If Antonio Brown goes to the Cardinals, which I believe

259
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: they were one of the favorites to acquire his services,

260
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: how bad does his value sag with a second year

261
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: quarterback in Josh Rosen under center, or does he just

262
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: get a hundred and eighty targets, you know, because like

263
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald is likely on his last go around with

264
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: this team. I mean, sure, there's David Johnson there, But

265
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: if a B goes to a spot where he can

266
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: like get a literal, literal buttload of targets, which Arizona,

267
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, he won't score double digit touchdowns in Arizona,

268
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: but if he gets eight targets, sure sign sign me

269
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: back up in this would that would scare the pants

270
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: off of me. I don't know. I mean I think

271
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: I think that he's still Antonio Brown, still Antonio Brown.

272
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: He's still I get it, you know, I mean, the

273
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: targets share would be there. You go from Ben Roethlisberger

274
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: in that offense to Josh Rosen and a head coach

275
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: who has zero NFL experience in that position, Um, a

276
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: B might end up being or wait, no, he's not

277
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: a B anymore. He's big chest? Is that it? Mr?

278
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: Big Chest? Mr? Big Chest? Did you miss that? Marcus?

279
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: I totally miss Mr Big Chest? That's what he wants

280
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: to be called. His Instagram story yesterday, he said instead

281
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: of being called a B, which is an unbelievable nickname

282
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: that you should never mess with you. It's called Mr

283
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: Big Chest. That's just I just My only wish for

284
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is that he does away with this blonde

285
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: mustache thing. Like it's just you know what it's. It's

286
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: like a permanent milk mustache. Right, It's like it's like

287
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: the kid you know when you're growing up. Everybody knew

288
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: that kid that kind of had the kool Aid ring

289
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: around his mouth like the whole time. Like that's sort

290
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: of what it looks like. It looks unwashed, like dog

291
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: do something, shave it off, just let it, let it

292
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: go back to its natural color something, because it's just

293
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: it looks. Yeah, well, Mr Big Chest won't be so

294
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: big time for me and my fantasy rankings if he

295
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: ends up in Arizona. I'll tell you that we will

296
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: certainly find out. And that is pretty much pretty much

321
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: I think you had a but eight or ten um

322
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: so a few of them here. Uh, when we've talked

323
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: about Levion Bell to the Colts um, which you know

324
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: they have. They have the money to do it. They

325
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: don't more money available than anybody. They do. They've got

326
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: the most money left in the salary cap currently. I

327
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: don't know that they have a need right now, because

328
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Marlon Mack and he's twenty two

329
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: and is going to be way cheaper than than Levian Bell.

330
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: But they certainly have the the space to go out

331
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: and do it if that's what they wanted to do. UM.

332
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram to the Ravens though, was one that was

333
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: in interesting to me because Baltimore has been struggling to

334
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: find consistency at running back for the last couple of years. UM,

335
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: and obviously mark Ingram is in a situation. I don't

336
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: know that Sean Payton has ever liked mark Ingram even

337
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: when he had seventeen maybe a little bit, and that

338
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: was it. Like and and as a fantasy community, we

339
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: need to understand Camara and Ingram. That whole thing needs

340
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: to be done. We it was nice two seasons ago,

341
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: last season it was a disaster. You bring him to Baltimore,

342
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: you make him your feature back. Gus Edwards did find

343
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: he's one dimensional. Kenneth Dixon is not durable and he's

344
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: had some off the field issues. You bring in mark

345
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: Ingram Vetteran presidents behind Lamar Jackson, the second year quarterback,

346
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 1: and that offense is going to just run it and

347
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: run it and run it some more. With Roman, they're

348
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: calling the shots. This is a guy who loves to

349
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: run the football. It's a perfect marriage for the offense

350
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: that they're going to be building in Baltimore. Put Ingram

351
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: in there and he suddenly would be back on that

352
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: RB two radar. I like the fit. But can I

353
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: take this another way? Sure? What So let's say mark

354
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: Ingram does leave New Orleans? Right, is Alvin Kamara back

355
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: in that conversation for number one? Overall? Because I do it,

356
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: I'd consider depending on if the Saints add some other

357
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: running back who could potentially okay the Denton but no, yes, yeah,

358
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: let's say my Walks. The Saints do nothing else at

359
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: with their running back position other than get some back up.

360
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: We remember what Camara did before Ingram? Was it en

361
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: maybe final year of breeze? I mean, I don't think

362
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: I could do it. It's all fun and games un

363
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: they'll take some hills taking your goal like happen. But no,

364
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: I do think if if mark Ingram is not in

365
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: New Orleans, I do think that Alvin Camara is going

366
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: to seriously be in that conversation. I mean, I think

367
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: you'll find people out there who will probably make that argument.

368
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: Now even with mar well, now that I'm thinking about,

369
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: there were people making it last year too. I mean

370
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: it's with mark Ingram being suspended for the first four

371
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: games and Kamara, I mean he scored like what seven

372
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: PPR point to pregame or something like that in the

373
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: first four week top five in back to back seasons

374
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: two and PPR So yeah, so um, but marking Rom

375
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: to the Ravens will be interesting, especially you know, they

376
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: are obviously building that offense around Lamar Jackson and what

377
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: he can do there, and you know, I don't know

378
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: how much you know, everybody's favorite three letters RPO are

379
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna come, you know, and be involved in that offense.

380
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: But I think getting mark Ingram involved in getting him

381
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: in a situation where basically he's not looking over his

382
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: shoulder and coming off the field every couple of plays

383
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: because there's somebody else there. If he's in Baltimore. We

384
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: know he is going to be the lead running back

385
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: in that offense. Golden Tate to the Green Bay Packers. Um,

386
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean these are wishes, I know, but I mean

387
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: raynal Cops a free agent. The Packers through the ball.

388
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: I think they were in the top ten in terms

389
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: of targeting slot receivers this past season, So that would

390
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: really put me, uh put me on on the Golden

391
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: tape bandwagon catch passes from Aaron Rodgers. They do have

392
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: some really good young players at the position there too,

393
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: but you bring in Golden Tate and suddenly his his

394
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: potential to be a guy who catches eighty passes is

395
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: right back. Let's get Aaron Rodgers some yak. I'm all

396
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: for that. See that. I think that's the biggest part

397
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: because that's obviously where Golden Tate excels. The yards after

398
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: catch um all receivers in YAK and I just man like,

399
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: I feel like, even as great as Davante Adams was

400
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: last year, like having a Golden Tate having that other

401
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: option potentially makes him that much better. And the Packers

402
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: were were fifth actually in targets to the Yeah, well

403
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: they had mvs and I mean Randad Copp was healthy

404
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Jimmy Graham played a little slot,

405
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: so it makes time. And let's be honest too, I

406
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: mean Aaron Rodgers. You know, he's not a spring chicken.

407
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: If they want to, if they want to get him

408
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: back to his Super Bowl, they need to put some

409
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: some weapons around him. I think you've got a good

410
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: young running back and Aaron Jones, who Malaflora is certainly

411
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: going to utilize, hopefully feature um something Mike McCarthy didn't

412
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: do until it was too late this past season. You

413
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: bring in a guy like Golden Tate, your parent with

414
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, You've got m vs, You've got some some

415
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: good young wide receivers there, Equanimius st. Brown also, and

416
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: suddenly that Packers offense could be running on all cylinders

417
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: once again. And Randall Cobby, I don't believe we'll be

418
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 1: back in a Green Bay Packers uniform, so why not

419
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: replace him with a player who's better and can make

420
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: that offense even more dynamic. Obviously, as you mentioned, this

421
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: is just a wish list. We're not projecting. We don't

422
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: know if anything, but now I'm just thinking Golden Sate

423
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: in Green Bay makes Jimmy Graham like super expendable, right,

424
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: like I mean expected to be Graham did all that

425
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: much this past year. I mean that was you wanna

426
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: talk about a swinging a miss because I was huge

427
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: on Jimmy Graham figuring right, you know he's going to

428
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: the Green Bay. He's got a great quarterback. This is

429
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: the tight end the Packers have been looking for for years.

430
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: And yeah, no, it just didn't happen. Everybody. Jimmy Graham

431
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: only saw eight red zone targets last year. I saw

432
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: twenty four. I think I projected him for eight touchdowns

433
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: last season. Yeah, well up short, very extremely goodness gras

434
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: and that Yeah, that that was a swing at a miss.

435
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: Um a couple of rookies on your wish. This was

436
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: by the way, Grandma, I will be in Indianapolis, fat

437
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: you are? You have you have prior commitments, so you

438
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: will not be there. But we will be in Indianapolis

439
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: for the combine coming up in a couple of weeks.

440
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: Uh So, I don't know. I've never been to Steak

441
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: in Shake. I hear it's big out there. You've never

442
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: been a steak and chance there's no steak in Shake

443
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: in California. That's the first thing we're doing. So that's

444
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I'm kind of looking forward to

445
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: steak and shake. Um So, if somebody wants to, you know,

446
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: point me in the direction of and apparently there are

447
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good steakhouses there too, right, and it's

448
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: but cold, so make sure you bring some warm I will,

449
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, I bring I'll probably to bring all of

450
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: my clothes because be California, I don't really have bu stuff.

451
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean I have found myself in the last week

452
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: or two complaining because I'm spoiled about how cold it

453
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: is here. Well, i mean, look, it's like ten degrees

454
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: colder than it should be at this time of the season.

455
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna rain again today, it's gonna tomorrow. It did

456
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: get below freezing a couple of days ago in Los

457
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: Angeles overnight. Well yeah, you know, every now and then

458
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: we get we get winter ish winter. That's a good

459
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: way to put um. So, Josh Jacobs running back from Alabama, Um,

460
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: you were wishing him to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because

461
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: obviously Ronald Jones was that didn't work out at all

462
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: last year. I'm not on the Peyton Barber. Bless Peyton Barber.

463
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: He he ran hard, he did what he could, but

464
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like Peyton Barber is

465
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: not the guy you're going to build your running game around.

466
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: So it means the Bucks pretty much are in the

467
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: market right now for a running back. Um, Josh Jacobs

468
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: possibly could be their guy. Yeah. I mean even last

469
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: season while on a time share with you know, Damien Harris,

470
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: the average five point three yards per carry, had eleven

471
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, had twenty catches, and then you bring in

472
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: the Bruce Arians factor. He's coached six top twenty PPR

473
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: running backs, including most recently David Johnson, Richard Mendenhall you

474
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: remember him, and Willie back in the day. Uh. He's

475
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: also coach nine running backs who've had at least thirty

476
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: plus catches in a single season. So that Tampa Bay

477
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: could end up being I mean, you talk about like

478
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins being sort of a fantasy wasteland, the Tampa

479
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers offense could be a virtual fantasy theme park.

480
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this thing could be ridiculous for fantasy owners

481
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: where there is going to be points scored. Uh, handover fist.

482
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: And if they added a guy like Josh Jacobs. And

483
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: now no one's really that shy about drafting ricky running

484
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: backs highly in fantasy leagues anymore because we've seen so

485
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: many success stories over the last three seasons four seasons.

486
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: So Jacobs could be a guy. If he ends up

487
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: in the right spot, Tampa Bay could be the right spot,

488
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: he could end up being a top twenty or top

489
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: thirty pick. I've been wanting the Bucks to stick a

490
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: running back early, just for the sole reason for so

491
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: many years, and they finally did it, but it was

492
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: the wrong one. I mean, yeah, yeah, man. I mean

493
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: they drafted, they draft, they drafted poorly. I mean, if

494
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: it makes you guys feeling better. Uh. Three NFL analysts

495
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: have the Bucks taking Josh Jacobs at five. Daniel Jeremiah,

496
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: Chad Reuterer, and our own Reriice Jones drew the Bucks.

497
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: The Bucks can't stop the pass on defense, Let's take

498
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: a running back. I don't help. I do think it's

499
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: funny though, that you know running back m J D

500
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: has a running back of course, top five, Yes, and

501
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: if Jacob's were from U C l A. Probably you know,

502
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: forget Nick Bosa, We're gonna go John we're gonna go

503
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs at the number one. UM, Kyler Murray, who

504
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about last week, and who

505
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear about a ton between now and the

506
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: start of the draft. Uh, you you're you're wishing him

507
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: bounce south. You wanted to take his talents to South Beach.

508
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: I would really love to see that. Now there's talk

509
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear about it in any analysts sort of

510
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: look at him that he's a little bit undersized, but

511
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: we've seen shorter quarterbacks thrive in the NFL in the past,

512
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: in the President, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, and if he

513
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: goes to Miami Air, reports are that Ryan Tannehill's tenure

514
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: with that team probably going to be over sooner rather

515
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: than later. Would immediately be given an opportunity to be

516
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: the guy. And and Graham, you know you talked about

517
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: it last week. I've talked about it forever. Running quarterbacks

518
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: are golden Fantasy football. See Lamar Jackson, see Robert Griffin

519
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: the third ce Russell Wilson, see Cameron Darrelle Newton. Um

520
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 1: we we have well, I mean, well those guys all

521
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: the top rookie seasons at the quarterback position. So you

522
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: get him in there with an opportunity. And this is

523
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: a guy who rushed for just over a thousand yards

524
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns in his final collegiate season. Who is a

525
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: better passer than Lamar Jackson was coming out of Louisville.

526
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: Who is more, He's got a stronger arm, accurate on

527
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: those short throws as well. So if you give him

528
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: an opportunity, and Graham, I remember you said this last

529
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: this kid could come in and make a fantasy impact

530
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: right away, right away in Miami is one of the

531
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: teams that could potentially allow him an opportunity to do that. Yeah,

532
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean Kyler Murray is just a ridiculous runner. Yeah, yeah,

533
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: it's so I'm looking at the the projections for him

534
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: and they're sort of all over the place. In fact, uh,

535
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: let's see, well, Daniel, DJ and Bucky actually have him

536
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: going last in the first round to the Patriots at

537
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: thirty two, which I'm sure that you know no one

538
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: out there. See. The thing is that like teams are

539
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: nuts when it comes to quarterbacks who have potential, uh

540
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, dynamic guys like this, Like somebody's going to

541
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: trade upward why he's sort of all over the map

542
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: and all these projections. I mean, Lances Airline has him

543
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 1: at four to the Raiders. M j d's got him

544
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: at seven to the Jags. Uh, Chad Reuter's got him

545
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: at ten to the Broncos. You know, so, I don't know,

546
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: you can come and maybe steal Joe Flacco's new gig.

547
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: Charlie Castley does have him going to the Dolphins at thirteen.

548
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: Now I knew, I like Charlie. Obviously, we have no

549
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: idea what's gonna happen in terms of trades and and

550
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: all that sort of thing. So you know that this

551
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: order as we owe it right now may not be

552
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: the order by the time we get to draft day.

553
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: But right now, Kyler Murray is very much a wild card.

554
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: But somebody is going to take a chance on him

555
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: in the first round. I think we can we can

556
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: believe that. Uh, Graham, you had a wish for your

557
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: wish list here, Yeah, shout out to Matt Harmon. I

558
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: want his boy, John Brown to go to the Browns.

559
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: I want John Brown to go to a place where

560
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: we can conceivably put him on a team where he

561
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: can lift the lid every single week not have to

562
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: fall back into Lamar Jackson and the Ravens run heavy offense.

563
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: I want John Brown to go to a team that

564
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: he can uh, he can excel, and I think the

565
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 1: Brown's Eagles Packers. I like John Brown for the Packers

566
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: to Um all makes sense. I mean last year with

567
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco at the controls, Brown average a career high

568
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: sixties seven yards per game, had nearly eighteen yards per reception,

569
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: led the NFL in deep targets twenty plus yards down field. Um,

570
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: he's still only twenty nine. We maybe have a couple

571
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: more good years where he's still got all of that juice.

572
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: Seems like he's finally over the sickle cell um thing

573
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 1: um and and not having any reoccurring hamstring issues. It's

574
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: great to see. Uh. Yeah, the Browns need a lid lifter.

575
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: I want to see Baker Maker with a proper deep

576
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: threat that's not named Brashod Perriman. He was on pace

577
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: to have a career season and then when Lamar Jackson

578
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: took over, I mean, his status just disintegrate. Everybody died. Yeah,

579
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it was. It was. It was

580
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 1: much like a you know, a Thanos boom. It just

581
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: fell apart. All the stats of all the past catchers

582
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, they all they all perished. Yeah, it just

583
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: it just didn't quite didn't quite work out for me,

584
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: and we sort of touched on it earlier. I just

585
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: want the Cardinals to get a number one receiver, and

586
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: maybe that is Antonio Brown, because there aren't there really

587
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: aren't any in free agency. Um. I know this. The

588
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: the wide receiver draft class is interesting, but I don't

589
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: know that there are any just immediate impact wide receivers

590
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: that are going to come into the NFL from the

591
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: draft this year. So maybe it is that the Cardinals

592
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: go out and do something bold and they bring in

593
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown because you know, look, I really thought Josh

594
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: rosen In in the draft last year was the most ready,

595
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: the most polished. I agree with you, Um it didn't

596
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: obviously didn't necessarily show itself on the field, but I

597
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: felt like he was the most ready. If you get him,

598
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: get him some help, give him an offensive line that

599
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: can protect him, get him. Uh, you know, they can't

600
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: keep running Larry Fitzgerald out there and asking him to

601
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: save that offense because as great as he's been obviously

602
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: this is the end of the road for him. They've

603
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: got to do something to get uh David Johnson more

604
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: involved the getting him just a consistent weapon that he

605
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: can throw the football to helps I don't know that

606
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: Charles Clay is that answer, So do something bold on

607
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: the on the desert. I will say the Cardinals have

608
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: basically signed every single free agent. That is a kind

609
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: of hap just that. I mean they've they've I think

610
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: they've made four or five signings already. Yeah, they have

611
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: no other free agency hasn't even opened officially. By the way,

612
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you on Rosen. I think he was he

613
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 1: was pretty easily I thought the most ready to I mean,

614
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: he was the most polish, and I don't know, especially

615
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: as a pocket pastor at U c l A mean,

616
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that he did inside of

617
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: the pocket I thought would translate immediately. And then obviously

618
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: he was thrown into the stone were a situation and

619
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: a terrible offensive line. Now I thought, I mean, I

620
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: thought there were guys in the draft with higher ceilings.

621
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you know, Baker Mayfield, Sam Donald,

622
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I think some of those guys had higher ceilings. But

623
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: in just if I if you were looking for a

624
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: guy that you could plug in day one, uh and

625
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: have that guy start. I thought Josh Rosen was going

626
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: to be your guy. So now if you're the Cardinals,

627
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: you gotta take advantage of that. Obviously, that's partially why

628
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury is there, but you also got to bring

629
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: in some talent around him, uh and help that work out.

630
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: Um A a F the American was an American Alliance

631
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: of Football or the Alliance of American Football. Yes, okay,

632
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: so the latter there it is. Uh. So they're two

633
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: weeks in. I will say this, I I watched a

634
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: little bit. I watched most of one game last Saturday.

635
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: I think it was Salt Lake in Birmingham that I watched.

636
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: The one thing that I found myself saying more than

637
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: anything else was that guy's in this league. Means, like

638
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: every couple of plays they'd make it they announce the name.

639
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, that that guy's in this there's a

640
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: bunch of those interesting um or either of you guys

641
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: playing in a fantasy leot uh. Todd Mossberg, one of

642
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: our esteemed producers here at uh NFL Fantasy Live, sent

643
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: out the group text and said, Hey, who wants to

644
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: get in. I'm like, hell, yeah, man, I'll get in.

645
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm doing a fantasy basketball league. Now, that's

646
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: all I've got going on, And so I said, yeah,

647
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: why not, I I will. I will gladly draft a

648
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: bunch of players, most of which I have never heard of.

649
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: And so I ended up with the first overall pick

650
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: and I drafted Trent Richardson and it's looked pretty good

651
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: so far. He's uh, his yards per rush is awful,

652
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: but you're telling me scoring touchdowns, which is which has

653
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: been good. I also got Jakwon Gardner, who is coming

654
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: off of a huge game uh for San Diego the Fleet,

655
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: and um, I it's hard to pay a lot of

656
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: attention to it. Now. I don't know about you guys.

657
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: You know, I know you're both involved in relationships. I'm

658
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: involved in relationship. Once the NFL season is over, my

659
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: girlfriend needs a break from football, and so if I

660
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: start watching too much of this of this AF, I mean,

661
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be grounds for the relationship ending because baseball

662
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: season is coming and I need to know that she

663
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: knows that when the Yankees are on, I'm watching them,

664
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: So you got to be I would like to be

665
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: able to watch a little bit more of this, but

666
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: I also would like to keep my relationship attacked. You've

667
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: got to be able to smell the roses. And I

668
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: used the off season to smell the rose right, And

669
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: let's see, that's kind of my thing too, is that

670
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: like I watched a little bit of it. I watched

671
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: a little bit too, and yeah, I mean it was cooler,

672
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: It is entertaining, and it's it is great to have

673
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: football and football in February in March. And maybe you know,

674
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: and maybe I shouldn't say this because I know that

675
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, NFL Network is carrying some of the games.

676
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: But it's like, yeah, after twenty some odd weeks of

677
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: locking in for the NFL, like I'm not necessarily going

678
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: to be all in. Well, it's not watching, It's not

679
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: even that for for us really. I mean, yes, we

680
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: have to lock them for twenty weeks, but I mean

681
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: we're all here in July right like working full time,

682
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: making making sure our fantasy projections and we're giving the

683
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: best draft advice. So really for us, we're locking it

684
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: for like eight months. And it's like, all right, I

685
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: always reward myself in after the Super Bowl with like

686
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: just some time off and going to travel. So I'm

687
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: with you. But I'll say this two things about the

688
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: a F. First and foremost, I'm all in on all

689
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: of the logos and team names. I think they're all fantastic.

690
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: They're all really good, um really really like all the logos. Secondly,

691
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: this kind of goes back to college football and in

692
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: a large part of the reason why I don't think

693
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: a lot of the majority of college football, it's at

694
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: the top, like sixty teams is watchable. Quarterback play is terrible. Yeah,

695
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: I've noticed that it's really really a little bit I

696
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: wanted Garrett Gilbert. Garrett Gilbert can play a little bit um,

697
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: But other than that, it's it's I mean it's really hard.

698
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: Like Logan Woside can play a little too. But yeah,

699
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: I look, I mean it's gonna be an interesting thing

700
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: to kind of keep track of and see how things progress.

701
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: And I think I suspect we'll see a handful of

702
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: guys come and make it out of this league and

703
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: show up in the NFL, I mean, similar to the XFL.

704
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: If if nothing else, we get to see Charles Johnson,

705
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: Rashad Ross, those guys who we were once like really

706
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: high fantasy I meant to see is balling. It's funny because,

707
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: like you know, we have the Dynasty League in the

708
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: office and Zack Stacey was a guy that I drafted

709
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: a few years back, and I'm thinking, wow, yeah, now

710
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: he's now he's in this uh this Alliance league, and um,

711
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: he's doing really well. The thing that makes me laugh

712
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: about this league though, so uh you remember you remember

713
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: our our pal from from back in the day, Um,

714
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: who is the the big time Penn's State you know

715
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: what I'm talking Chris Law, Chris Law and he was

716
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: like all over Christian Hackenburg when he got drafted by

717
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: the Jets in the second round. He was just basically

718
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: a painting state Hall yes, and a prey and everyone

719
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: was killing them on social media. You know, we were

720
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: having a lot of fun with them. And Hackenburg stinks

721
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: in this league too. I mean he's bad. Yes, So

722
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: I gotta but I gotta ask you, because you drafted

723
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: a team, did you go in with a draft strategy?

724
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: Did you have? I mean I picked guys who I

725
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: had heard of first and then they were actually fantasy alarm. Uh,

726
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: kudos to them, had some draft rankings. Believe it or not.

727
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: But Pro Football Focus also had some draft rankings, I know,

728
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: people and stuff. I mean, look, by way, shout out

729
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: to Evan Silva because he's doing a full on I

730
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: was matchups column every single week. While we're on the subject,

731
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: we've got to give the fantasy community a massive shout

732
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: out here because they have really kind of taken embraced this,

733
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: embraced it. Um. I've certainly not been one of those

734
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: people for that reason that Marcus and I just talked about.

735
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: I gotta smell the roses a little bit. But look,

736
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: I think that this can work. The NFL has long, long,

737
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: long needed a develop developmental minor league type of type

738
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: of team. My only concern, and I'm sure, I mean,

739
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: this is kind of the elephant room right, Like the

740
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundn't you guys hear about this? Yeah,

741
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars two weeks in they couldn't pay their

742
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: players afterwards. That was not a good look. So I

743
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: mean that's I mean, it's extremely expensive to run sports

744
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: leagues extremely well. I mean, and and what what's you know,

745
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: what's coming to right in a few seasons the l

746
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: that's coming back. So now you're really going to start

747
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: to see talent sort of thinned out outside of the

748
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: NFL rosters because you're gonna have XFLU. You know, maybe

749
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: this league is still in existence, maybe it's not. We'll

750
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: see what happens. But um, if the X I will

751
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: be playing Fantasy XFL, I can guarantee you that. Why not.

752
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: Why I mean, I'm just gonna have fun with it

753
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: this year. I'm having fun with it. I'm not paying

754
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: a whole heck of a lot of attention, um because,

755
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: as you guys said, offseason relationships sort of stand in

756
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: the balance, right, Real life comes at you hard. When

757
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: I'm not working during the NFL season, I'm mr Mom.

758
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: I gotta take Matthew to school. I gotta pick him up.

759
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: I gotta coaches baseball team. I gotta take him the

760
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: guitar lessons. By the way, I'm taking guitar lessons. That's

761
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: a hard instrument to learn. I'm about a month and

762
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: I dig it. Um, It's fun, but it is a

763
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: hard instrument to learn. But uh, going back to the point,

764
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: I don't really watch a lot of it, but I'm

765
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: having fun watching the players statistically and sort of how

766
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: my team is doing. The like, literally like, there was

767
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: a guy that I drafted, uh Acram Wadley eight catches

768
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 1: this past week, had had a monster game in PPR eighteen,

769
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, so I'm picking up on some

770
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: guys who I maybe wouldn't have heard of otherwise. But

771
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm not a ball er isla though. I was just

Speaker 1: went to Diowa, I've got to do it's Acram or Acram.

774
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: I've got I've got a Maliki. I've got a lot

775
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: no Malick I Jones who actually coming off a big game.

776
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: And then I've got another guy his last name is Hyman. Okay,

777
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: I got I got all kinds of odd names going on. Yeah,

778
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: I've got a bunch of them. And then I've got

779
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: a Jaquan who is just lighten it up for me.

780
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if Maliki priest listening, I'm apologize. He's in

781
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals practice. Okay, there you go, he's in

782
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: the league. Apologies to Eddie. Are you have you watched

783
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: in the a F I was gonna say a couple

784
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: of things. The one it's a great point that that

785
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: Grammy brought up with the quarterback play because I love

786
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: college football Saturdays as much as NFL Sundays, and I'm thinking, like,

787
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: there are so many quarterbacks that I watched on Saturdays

788
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: who you know in the NFL. They might get a

789
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: six ten round picked, the might have a couple of coffee,

790
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: might be on a practice squad. So like those guys

791
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: who were tearing up on Saturdays, why wouldn't they just

792
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: naturally go to a place they could play in showcase

793
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: as opposed to being on a practice squad and just

794
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: being buried in depth tried, That to me is an

795
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: interesting thing. The thing I'll say to about this league

796
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: is it's great to have on in the background. It's

797
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: just not something like an NFL game where you're gonna

798
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: call up your buddy and be like, let's play, let's

799
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: go to such and such bar around. But everything else

800
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: about it, like the team names, the uniforms, the cities

801
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: they picked. Um, there are some games that guys I

802
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: remember from the league, like, so it's it's gonna it's

803
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: a it's a slow bill. But I think people ultimately

804
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: like it's a pretty warm reception so far. They did

805
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: an unbelievable job findal point picking the cities because obviously

806
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: at Lanta has as a team, but Birmingham, Memphis, Orlando,

807
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: San Antonio, where's the where's the team in Arizona playing?

808
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what the top is it. I don't

809
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: know actually where the where the hot shots are playing? Anyways,

810
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean Salt Late Santa, all those teams don't have

811
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: teams in Sorry San Diego. Red your girlfriend a sports fan? Yes,

812
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: because I said, with all the all the stuff that

813
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: you're watching, and if you're watching any of this too,

814
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: I mean that's no, I don't. I don't me. I

817
00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: it on the background, like in between stuff. But I'm

818
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm how you guys are where you're You're locked in

819
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: with the NFL for X amount of months, then you're

820
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: and then you're out. I'm more uh, even during the season.

821
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: It's like if I'm not watching a game, um at

822
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: it Like I just working in sports makes me want

823
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: to watch everything, but sports like like, oh, did you

824
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: watch the thirty for thirty? Did you watch that that

825
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: documentary on this did you? I'm like, I don't. I can't.

826
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of that, the I think it

827
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: was the HBO documentary and Nick Bonakani is excellent. I

828
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: mean I flipped that. I'm in the middle of it.

829
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: You're you're a youngster, so you don't remember the days

830
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: of Bonacani and Lynn Dawson hosting the HBO show, which

831
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: was appointment watching. It was great every single week inside

832
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: the NFL and the Dolphins everyone I know everything that

833
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: if you're a big sports fan, um, regardless of you

834
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins are not really uh, it's it's just

835
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: an amazing story. Very sad at times, um, but but

836
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: well worth a watch. The last thing about two things

837
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: about the A One, the Arizona Hotshots are in Phoenix.

838
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: They're playing in Sundevil Stadium, sharing it what there was

839
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: out a state. Uh, and shout out to Cynthia Freeland

840
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: who actually was doing some good. I know Alex Flanagan too,

841
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: who I love to see. Alex was here at the

842
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: NFL Network when I started a million years ago, and

843
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: it's great to see her doing that. They had Rod

844
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: Woodson on, they had Rill Davis on there too, doing

845
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: that too. So the only thing they have is really

846
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: missing is like a basically the NFL's version of Beat.

847
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: Like all the Beat writers, we have come a million

848
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: if if if, if it survives, you'll start to get that.

849
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, you can't even find right box scores.

850
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: It's so hard to find box scores. Like Mossy was like,

851
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: I can't find any sites that have like legit boxes.

852
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: But now we have asias feed. They don't have it,

853
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: they don't have it on the on the website, they

854
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: don't have box scores. I'm looking, go and look, I'm looking.

855
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 1: It's difficult. The app you can go and actually watch

856
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: the game with no sound and no commentary, but there's

857
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: no box screen. Would like, there's no fantasy alarm? I think,

858
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: does it interesting? Kudos to them again, you are correct

859
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 1: that not finding any box it is hard to find status.

860
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: Who has Wait here we go, that's a subject. Wait no, yeah,

861
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: there we go. Yeah, it's a it's a little bit

862
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: of digging. But they can do exist. They don't exist.

863
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: You just got a good big stuff. So there you go.
